Worship this Sunday was incredible. The music was exta-extraordinary, which for Stonebriar Community Church is saying a lot. We enjoyed the full orchestra and choir. They were hitting everything out of the ballpark. Even us regular folks were singing at full tilt, at least I know I was. Fortunately I had time to absorb hymn… Continue reading Bible Lessons From 2 Peters

COLLOSSAL FAILURE
“We did what God told us to do. Why didn’t Pharaoh let us go worship God?” Moses shrugged. “Hopefully the leaders of the people will have some answers for us after their meeting here.” The door to the palace opened. The Hebrew contingency approached Moses and Aaron. “You said you were going to lead us… Continue reading COLLOSSAL FAILURE
El Paso Lessons From an 18-wheeler Driver
Texas has some extremely diverse landscapes. If you love the ocean life we can deliver it with, or without, a barrier island. If you prefer hills and trees the east side is for you.

Time To Go Home
“What have you two done? Everybody’s going to gang up on us and destroy us in no time.” Jacob fell back in his chair. Levi stepped forward. “We are not going to let any man treat our baby sister like a piece of trash to be used for his pleasure.” Simeon grabbed Levi’s shoulder. “The… Continue reading Time To Go Home
Heading Home
When Jacob walked by Laban’s sons he couldn’t help over-hearing their conversation. “Jacob got rich off Abba’s flocks.” “Yeah, everything he has once belonged to Dad.” “Why are his goats so much bigger than our goats? How’d that happen?” One glance at Laban and Jacob felt like the outsider he was. That looked carried so… Continue reading Heading Home
